AAPI Media: Resilience and Rebirth

In May 1924, the U.S. passed the Johnson-Reed Act, which banned all immigration to the U.S. from Asia.

This event will feature Asian American news media leaders serving communities that have been targeted by xenophobic violence and policies in the past and face similar threats today: Denver’s Chinatown, New York City’s Little Syria, and Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo.
